Another problem raised by the substitute-parents is that the gap
between generations is twice wider this time, and this can cause
irreconcilable problems. For example the 2000s generation has a totally
different view of life than that of their parents, not speaking of that
of their grandparents' who sometimes find it difficult to adapt to
these new times we are living, to the new technology, lifestyle, and
needs of the young generation...

Do you
agree with the idea that children
should be raised by their grandparents? Why yes/no?

Parents
are -or should be -the most important persons in children's lives. They
become
the role models and they shape their children's personalities in the
long run.

But,
sometimes being a parent proves to be very difficult. In the past years
in our
country was hard to find a well paid job and this is the reason why
parents
either found work in another city or abroad. This is the reason why
they had to
find someone to look after their children who needed a stable
environment to
grow up in. In these situations, parents think that the most reliable
persons
they should trust their most valuable treasures are their own parents.
In this
way, children move in with grandparents who try, for a long or short
period of
time to replace the parents.

If
it's good or bad that children are raised by grandparents it's
difficult to
stay, that depends on the each and every situation. Though, it is much
better
that parents raise their son or daughter. Why?

Sometimes grandparents spoil
too much the child, overwhelming him or her with too much affection
trying to
replace the emptiness left by the parents' departure.

Another problem raised by
the substitute-parents is that the gap between generations is twice
wider this
time, and this can cause irreconcilable problems. For example the 2000s
generation has a totally different view of life than that of their
parents, not
speaking of that of their grandparents' who sometimes find it difficult
to
adapt to these new times we are living, to the new technology,
lifestyle, and
needs of the young generation. All this can lead to either giving too
much
freedom to their granddaughter or grandson, or isolating him/her too
much. In
the end this leads to strong arguments between them and

. can end up in children's
losing their bearings. This may consequently lead to drugs consuming,
running
from home, or finding untrustworthy friends. Parents, because they see
their
children rarely, don't understand their real problems and tend also to
offer
too much affection and sometimes compensatory gifts which, in their
opinion can
replace their presence.

Of
course Grandparents are great people and they can definitely raise a
child
properly but, in my opinion it is much better that a children live with
their
parents.
